    Posted this in the main forums a while back, but they turned out pretty good. Making another batch this weekend:

    1 cup whole milk
    1 cup peanut butter
    2 cups oats (not instant)
    225g protein powder (I used Dymatize Gourmet Vanilla ISO 100 whey - 8 scoops NOT PACKED)
    1 tbsp honey
    1/2 cup cold water

    In small sauce pan, heat milk, peanut butter, and honey over medium-low heat and whisk until creamed.

    Set aside and let cool for 2-3 mins.

    In large mixing bowl, combine oats and protein powder until well mixed. Slowly stir in PB mixture until a thick paste forms adding water as needed (add water 1 tbsp at a time so the paste doesn't get too mushy) so the paste isn't so thick that you can't spread it in the pan. Line glass baking dish with parchment paper, and pour paste into dish spreading evenly. Let cool until paste is firm.

    Cut into 16 individual-sized bars. Refrigerate for storage.

    Each bar is 185 calories with 9g carbs, 18g protein, and 8g fat as made. If you use another protein powder, adjust accordingly.

    Link the thread. MoreBean also added some good modifications to this recipes to help firm up the bars a bit.

    French toast. Eggs, protein powder, cinnamon, milk and vanilla, mix well. Dip whole wheat toast in and fry. Yummy!
    I also used to make pancakes with this batter: 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, and one scoop of vanilla protein powder. Blend in blender and fry in olive oil. Low fat, high protein snack:)

    For cheesecakes, I have it on very high authority that this is the best thread for protein cheesecakes

    This site has many, many shake recipes that are pretty scrumptious.

    http://dashingdish.com/recipe/dashing-dish-official-protein-shake/

    I've tried almost all of them and I have yet to find one I'm not fond of. Although they taste great without it, use the xanthan gum. It really does make it just like an ice cream shake consistency.

    I have tried a few of these - they are good.

    My adapted version:

    1 cup natural peanut butter
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk
    1/2 cup water
    1 large egg
    1 tablespoon honey
    2 cups oats
    8 scoops (375g) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% whey protein powder (chocolate)
    4 tablespoons Flax Usa - Organic Golden Flax Seed Cold Milled

    Followed instructions above, except I added Bean's suggestion of baking and put the pan in for 20 minutes at 300 degrees.

    16 servings. Each serving is: 193 calories, 18 grams protein, 10 grams fat, 10 grams carbs

    I wanted to add natural applesauce to moisten the mixture, but didn't have any. Like Bean's experiment, mine are a little dry and I think the applesauce would definitely do the trick. There is a pic in my profile of the finished bars.

    Thanks!

    I just made these two nights ago with the following substitutions:
    I used half mochaccino (sp) and half PB cup flavored whey.
    I used quick oats instead of regular. It worked fine but I should have soaked the oats first.

    Turned out great.

    I like Trutein for chocolate and Optimum Nutrition for Vanilla. You can usually get good deals if you search online.

    oatmeal banana breakfast muffins

    Did this recipe this morning:

    http://chaseandem.blogspot.ca/2012/09/oatmeal-banana-breakfast-muffins.html

    ...but added 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder (which thickened it quite a bit) and a couple of tablespoons of water to keep it batter consistency.

    Friggin' delicious.

    Roughly 120 cals and 7 grams of protein (depending of course on your PP choice)

    edit - Forgot to mention I used pourable splenda instead of sugar.
